Republican Villagers Nation Party

The Republican Villagers Nation Party (CKMP) was a Turkish nationalist political party which existed from 1958 to 1969. In 1962, the party entered the government as a part of Ismet Inonu's CHP-led coalition, having expelled its anti-Inonu leader Osman Bolukbasi. However, without Bolukbasi, the party lost support, and its share of the vote dropped from 14% in 1961 to 2.2% in 1965. In 1965, Alparslan Turkes became chairman of the party, and he transformed it into the Nationalist Movement Party in 1969.
